Data are an organization's sole, non-depletable, non-degrading, durable asset. Engineered right, data's value increases over time because the added dimensions of time, geography, and precision. Data possesses properties worthy of additional investment. This book presents these pillars in an understandable way.

Sets the stage for understanding the holistic marriage of information, socialization, and process change necessary for transitioning an organization to customer centricity. This book begins with an overview list of 8-10 precepts associated with a business-focused view of the knowledge necessary for developing customer-oriented business processes.

A comprehensive resource on semantic modeling, for practitioners in health care, artificial intelligence, finance, engineering, military intelligence, enterprise architecture, and more. Focused on developing useful and reusable models, it explains how to build semantic content (ontologies) and how to build applications that access that content.

Discusses analytical methods, that combine a chemical sample treatment step with a spectrometric technique, applied to the determination of metals and metalloids at trace and ultratrace levels. This book comprises three parts and includes 54 alphabetically arranged monographic reviews on spectrochemical trace analysis for individual elements.

Offers a review of developments along with tried and tested methods for isolation, resolution and quantification of inositol phospholipids and inositol polyphosphates in both cells and tissues. This book includes detailed methodology for identification of molecular species of inositol phospholipids, including their phosphates and glycans.

As the computer industry retools to leverage massively parallel graphics processing units (GPUs), this book is designed to meet the needs of working software developers who need to understand GPU programming with CUDA and increase efficiency in their projects. It starts with an introduction to parallel computing concepts.

Focuses on the MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad Evaluation Kit, which is a complete microcontroller development platform that includes everything you need to start creating microcontroller-based projects.

A guide to the safe operation of all vessels at sea. Suitable for seagoing engineers, navigating officers, senior crew, cadets and those in training, it includes the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, with practical discussion of the implications of the rules.

Suitable for advanced students of materials science and mechanical engineering, this book provides a concise introduction to the microstructures and processing of materials and shows how these are related to the properties required in engineering design.

IJCNN is the flagship conference of the INNS, as well as the IEEE Neural Networks Society. IJCNN has embraced the proliferation of spin-off and related fields, while maintaining a core emphasis befitting its name.

In the past, transmission pipeline routing and construction decisions were based largely on experience and 'back of the envelope' calculations. This manual helps readers pinpoint the useful formulae, equations, and calculations.
